NC State vs Western Carolina Thursday at 7PM

[Vol_in_NC_1999]

I'll be rooting for Western Carolina to pull off an upset,

Not me. I want NC State to blow them away. That will keep us on our toes, then we can listen to State fans talk about how good they are and how much they'll beat us. Then we'll blow them away. Best scenario.

Oklahoma plays Temple Friday.

Hope they play nothing but cupcakes until they run into the buzzsaw known as Blur Ball.

For some reason, I just heard leonard's losers while reading this.

I love listening to that radio show every Saturday during football season.

 

[Savannahbayvol]

Don’t forget Notre Dame @ TX AM 7:30
Or on Sunday USC @ LSU 7:30

And when do we play any of these teams?

I will be at Carter-Finley tonight as I grew up there and we still have that house in the shadows of the stadium and the State Fairgrounds. Love Raleigh.

Don’t really expect much tonight. NC state and UT won’t open up their offenses too much in week 1. NC state will dominate -32 is the betting line

 

[VolKnight9]

WCU may give them all the want for a couple quarters. Western has a good offense.

 

[WillisWG]

Interesting WCU beat UTC 52-50 last year

 

[Vol737]

UGA will beat Clemson like a redheaded stepchild. I would take the UGA at -13.5

 

[Go Fight Win]

Would like to see this game close for as long as possible then NC State blow em out in the 4th quarter

Wanna see them sweat a little and have to open up their playbook and give us some looks

I want to see what NC State's offense looks like. I am a CCU fan (after UT), so I have seen lots of McCall. He was great in Chadwell's spread option, but he struggled some last year with a new coach and scheme. NC State apparently has an all new offense after struggling last year in the ACC. They will probably have a solid defense, but I am curious to see if the offense can utilize what McCall does well.

I’m really in a quandary re the UF/UM game.
I don’t like either team and I usually pull for whoever is playing the hated Gators.
However if we beat a UF team that beat Miami, it has to look better on our resume.

Feel similar. It’s best for us to beat a Florida team that’s overperforming this year. Hoping both teams lose but if one has to win it’s Florida

Not so fast my friend.............UGA in a squeaker.

I would rather florida lose so much that it just turns into the Florida it was before Spurrier

I tend to think it will be close for a while but GAs overall depth will help them pull away later and the final score will probably not be consistent with how the game is played overall. Something like a late interception returned for a TD that will make a 7-10 point game end up being a 14-17 point final margin.

It'll be interesting to see what they have. Everybody's high on them contending for the ACC this year, but they shouldn't be able to hang with us late imo. Beat who you're supposed to beat and we'll wind up where we want to be this year.

I don't think they will be contenders for the ACC. The pundits all have Florida State winning the ACC.

 

[UT_VOLS13]

State wins by 35+

 

[S.C. OrangeMan]

Definitely want to watch to see if they struggle at all and not necessarily on the scoreboard but if they execute smooth, how they do with penalties, how does McCall look. I know wolfpack will win and should not be close at the end.

McCall is a really good QB. Definitely a short yardage and scramble run threat.

Game delayed thirty minutes for lightning.
starting now at 7:30pm eastern on ACC Network.
rooting for lots of minor ankle sprains…just enuf to make them miss their next game…winking.

NC State linebacker ejected in the first series for targeting.

Sloppy game to start but as expected. Let’s see what happens on the 2nd possession of each team

Wonder how he deals with our defense front

If you look at the series history, Clemson rarely beats Georgia. To me the lock of the week is taking BC and the points (+16.5) against Florida State though. BC's QB is pretty good and he lit FSU up last year running and almost beat them.

 

[calban]

Hope he throws one like that to Boo.
